Free Money!

Okay, it's not exactly free, but it is actually yours. Every few weeks or so, I go to unclaimed.org (the site of the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators) to search for my name and my friends' and family's names for any money they might be missing—from bank accounts to payroll checks to life insurance policies and much, much more. It's not available in every state, but so far, I've alerted a few friends, my brother-in-law, his sister and others that they're on the list. From there, it's up to them to go through the process to reclaim their money. I haven'd found any of my own money yet, but I'm still hoping. —Annemarie Conte
